Eternity Ring Styles

The simple nature of eternity rings allows for fewer design variations compared to that of engagement rings. Nevertheless, there are still variations in styles and couples can choose a metal, shape, setting and other characteristics that will reflect individual preferences.

Full and half eternity rings. Full rings usually feature a complete circle of gems while half rings have stones in only one portion of the ring.

Full eternity rings often need to be custom sized and cannot be resized in the long run making half rings more popular choices. Most women also prefer to have their stones concentrated in one side so that they are more visible.

Stone sizes and shapes. Eternity rings have stones that need to be nestled together thus compact shapes are popular choices including princess, emerald and round cuts. Rings usually don’t have mix sizes or shapes to preserve the continuity of its design, though alternating styles can still be found. Eternity bands usually have stones around the finger so only smaller gems are used for comfort. Due to the number of stones that are utilized in eternity rings, it weighs more than the traditional wedding rings.

Eternity ring stone collections. Diamonds are considered as the most popular eternity ring stones but you may also consider other options. Emeralds, tanzanite, sapphires and rubies are also frequent options and are often paired with diamonds in a repeating or alternating pattern on the ring. Couples may also opt for birth stones or other symbolic stones to make the ring more meaningful and unique.

Ring setting. Setting choices can be pretty limited because eternity bands tend to have close set stone designs. A prong setting can give the ring the look of being only made up of diamonds, like that of a pave setting. Channel settings are popular options because they hold gems securely in place and are easy to manufacture. Other elaborate and sophisticated styles include bezels, curved S settings, and even figural ones such as leaves, flowers and vines.

While the stones, style and placement of eternity bands are important aspects that you need to consider, the sentiment conveyed by the ring is still the most important part of this gift.
